AWARDS
and recognitions
Banorte is recognized by LatinFinance as “Best Bank in Mexico and Latin America 2014” and as “Best Bank of 2014 in Mexico” by The Banker.
In November 2014 The Banker, through the Financial Times, honored Banorte for a second consecutive time and 7th since 2005 as “Best Bank in Mexico”. Additionally, in October 2014, Banorte was honored by LatinFinance the international journal specializing in banking and capital markets as “Best Bank of the Year in Mexico and Latin America”.
Both appointments took into consideration qualitative and quantitative factors such as security, solidity and prudence displayed by the institution. They recognized in Banorte the ability to grow through various acquisitions and mergers as was the case with the purchase of Generali’s participation in the Insurance and Annuities companies and the successful mergers of Ixe and Afore BBVA Bancomer, with which the Group has raised its market share by attending to the financial needs of new customers. Mention of GFNorte’s increased presence in the equity market was also made.
An additional factor in the assessment was the confidence that investors have shown by acquiring the stock package that allowed GFNorte to obtain fresh capital for its expansion in mid-2013, stressing that this capital increase was achieved in a context of greater volatility in international markets and an economic growth in Mexico below expectations.
